McGeady wasn’t always to blame though as Wilson branded keeper Artur Boruc a “psychopath” after he famously banjoed the winger in a training-ground flashpoint in 2009.

The defender, 31, who is looking for a new club following his release from Dumbarton, said: “There was also the Artur Boruc incident with Aiden.

“I was there, I was inside when it all kicked off. To be fair to Aiden that wasn’t his fault that time – it was the other psychopath’s fault!

“Something happened outside. Artur ran at him and tried to punch Aiden but he ducked out of the way. The pair were split up and headed for the changing room.

“Aiden was sitting at his locker and Artur came over to say sorry. He held out his hand, Aiden went to shake it, and then Artur whacked him!

“It was completely out of order, terrible, but that was the kind of fella Artur was. You never knew what to say to him. He was always on the edge.”

McGeady also found himself in bother during a Celtic trip abroad – another occasion when he incurred the wrath of Parkhead boss Strachan.

Wilson said: “We went on a night out in Denver during a pre-season tour in the USA but we were told to stay together.

“For the most part we did but Aiden was one of three lads who didn’t remain with the group. He stayed out and ended up getting involved with guys at a hotdog stand believe it or not.

“He woke up the next day with a black eye and obviously Gordon wasn’t happy. We flew to Chicago and Aiden was told to wear dark sunglasses and wasn’t allowed to train. He had a few run-ins, that’s for sure.”
